Public safety construction spending in May hits $10 billion

Construction spending on public safety structures for May 2019 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $10 billion, according to the U.S. Census Bureau report which was released in August.

The unadjusted rate for the same period was $856 million.

The total includes construction of new structures as well as improvements to existing structures in both the private and public sectors. It does not include maintenance and repairs to existing structures.

To gather the data, the Census Bureau mails surveys monthly to a sampling of construction project owners asking for statistics on privately owned nonresidential construction, state and local construction, privately owned multi-family, and federal construction projects.
